SARA BERNHARDT is playing in Chicago this
week. The Chicago newspaper reporters are
wearing themselves out trying to chase her
shadow down to get an interview out of it.
SARA's SHADOW is something that cannot ma
terialize. -, N.
The New York papers are still whacking
the railroad companies for not putting steam
heaters in their cars. From which we infer
that the Eastern people have relinouished all
hope of winter ever breaking. What the cars
most need in this section of the Union at this
season of the year is a new broom with pair
of strong hands hold of the handle. The dust
is more intolerable than the coal stove.
S.c
This and next will be moving weeks. Great
many families will be changing into new
quarters. 1t is important that they should
guard against the sudden change of tempera-
ture which prevail at this season of the year.
This caution has particular application to
those who are gong into new houses. By all
means have the buildings well warmed be-
fore going into them.

The health records of the Eastern cities for
last week show remarkable mortality from
pneumonia, especially among children. The
health officers attribute it to the variable
April weather. But the weather was not to
blame for it. The great mortality was due to
the lack of forethought and imprudent ex-
posture to the weather.

PALMER's Madison Square Dramatic COM
pany had a little picnic the other day by run =
ming down to Washington to play "Jim the
Penman' before the president and the cabI-
net. Those of the audience who were familiar
with the play were anxious to see the effect
on the president of certain lines in it, They
occur IN the dialogue between Lady Duns-
combe and Louis Percival. The following
report by one who was in the audience gives
the lines and their effect:
Lady D-And you are just from America?
How did you leave the president? (CLEyE-
LAND knitted his brows.) L once met his
father, the late president.
Louis Percival-1 beg pardon, my lady,
but the presidency of the United States is not
hereditary. Our presidents have no heirs.
CLEVELAND looked around at Col. LAMONT.
and neither smiled.)
made the same mistake when I was presented
to the pope.
At this point Mr.. CLEVELAND smiled family
and was apparently relieved of the suspicion
that the lines had been injected for the occa-
sion.

Verify, these are piping times of peace

one else to fight against them they are fight

| The return of SAM JONES to the Northwest
| revives "reminiscences Of his preaching al
| Red Rock last summer. Sunday was the
| big day, as it always is at camp meeting
| Everybody went to hear the great revivalist
The impression prevailed that JONES was &
sort Of clerical clown, and the people flocket
| in crowds to Red Rock on Sunday in the ex
pectation of having picnic of fun. To thei
| utter astonishment they heard sermon
which for finished oratory and touchins
| pathos has never been excelled in North
western pulpit. People who went to laugl
| came away with fearful eyes. From that da,
| to this no one who listened to that Sunda,
| morning sermon has ever been heard 10 speaj
| of SAM JONES except with most reverentia
| respect.

| Rev. SAM SMALL, who is Rev. JONES asso
| ciate, has just recovered from severe i'll
| ness. Mr.. JONES had to conduct his Cincin
| natl meeting alone. AS soon as it was close
he hurried back to Atlanta to the bedside o
his sick brother and helped to nurse him bac
| to health. The two SANS are like DAVID sal
| of SAUL and JONATHAN: Lovely in thei
lives. and don't want to parted even b
